Inside the haute Doral Golf Resort & Spa, Ron Martin’s huge vinyl sign leaps out from the clutter in the Taking America Back conference exhibitors’ hall.Past slick booths selling Ron Paul-approved gold bars and offering “patriot coaching” — a two-day boot camp teaching the fine art of “turning the tables…
Do you love arguing about the liberal socialist agenda to destroy America but wish you could quote the Constitution in a more nautical setting? Do you love cruising the Caribbean, but think constantly about how much more you would love it if you could share those golden sunsets with Tea…
Following his stops at Gloria Estefan’s house and a fundraiser at the swanky Fontainebleau President Obama is coming back to Miami for the the third time this year for yet another cash grab. Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning will host the even at this house on October 11…
If your daily commute takes you through Doral — and may god have mercy upon your soul for that — you may notice some unusual sights around the exclusive Doral Golf and Spa Resort this morning: grown men dressed in colonial-era britches; hastily drawn signs equating Obama to socialism; Michele…
Riptide’s favorite hometown SNL star turned wacko tea party songstress, Victoria Jackson, is back writing columns for Andrew Brietbart’s Big Hollywood. She’s decided Sarah Palin is “the perfect feminist.” Unfortunately she doesn’t seem to have much of a grasp on what feminism actually is, and take swipes at single mothers…
Miami’s large, GOP-leaning Cuban-American population is an important vote for Republicans running for statewide election, so it doesn’t bode well for gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott that he has picked up few endorsements from the area. Despite the fact that Miami-Dade politics are nonpartisan, newly elected school board member Raquel Regalado,…
A little more than a year ago, former Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer made headlines by condemning President Barack Obama’s address to the nation’s schoolchildren on their first day of school as a “use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda.” Greer, at the…
Sure, there are pressing issues out there like health care, the economy and wars, but going by America’s ever growing obesity rate, the most important issue in all of America continues to be French fries. With the exception of the 2003 “freedom fries” controversy, politicians hardly address the issue that…
Yesterday we noted Alex Sink’s tricky new TV ad that put distance between her campaign and President Obama. Today on MSNBC, she explicitly sided with Republicans against Obama on the issue of permanently extending all of the “Bush Tax Cuts.” She claims they help small businesses, but the fact remains…
CNN and Time magazine just released the latest poll in both Florida’s Gubernatorial and Senate races. While the poll conducted by Opinion Research shows Democratic Alex Sink with a surprising and comfortable seven point lead over Republican Governor candidate Rick Scott, the poll still shows Marco Rubio and Charlie Crist in a…
Anyone out there confusing Alex Sink, the white lady with the slight Southern twang who’s running for governor of Florida, with Barack Obama, the African-American man with a powerful speaking voice who’s running the country? Apparently Sink is worried that her opponent, Rick Scott, might be confused that the two…
According to several sources, Rick Scott is expected to announce state Rep. Jennifer Carroll as his running mate today. Looking just at her identity and life story, she’s an explosive pick: the first African American woman elected to the state legislature as a Republican, an immigrant from Trinidad, a 20-year…
There’s already the rather loose connection of Governor candidate Rick Scott to Playboy Mexico, and now it seems there’s a more direct connection between current Governor and Senate candidate Charlie Crist to the raunchier Penthouse magazine. According to Politico, the CEO of the adult brand will be holding a $500-per-person…
They packed City Hall by the dozens this afternoon — the firefighters in bright yellow, the police in dark blue, the general service workers in civvies. They beat the floor, pounded the windows and whistled while their leaders excoriated the Miami City Commission over its proposal to slash salaries and…
As we put it last week “Lawton ‘Bud’ Chiles will run for governor until he realizes what everyone knows: he can’t win.” Now there’s considerable rumblings that the Independent candidate whose main qualification is that he shares a name with his late father, Gov. Lawton Chiles, is set to announce…
If a man is dating Modern Family star and Colombian bombshell Sofia Vergara, what more could he possibly want out of life? Well, according to Page Six, the man who is currently dating Vergara, Nicholas Loeb, one day wants to be Governor of Florida. As the gossip column is quick…
Like a blackjack fiend down to his last, filthy dollar bill at 3 a.m., the City of Miami has gone through most of the stages of grief over its budget disaster. First came denial (illegally shuffling money around to hide the problems), then anger (electing firebrand Tomas Regalado), desperate bargaining…
We’re of two theories about Charlie Crist’s latest string of “clarifications” (or flip-flops) on some positions: (1) The guy doesn’t know what he actually believes and is being as vague as possible to attract as many voters as possible. (2) He has always personally held these positions, altered them to…
Lawton “Bud” Chiles III, son of the last Democrat to hold the Governor’s office in Florida, is running for Governor as an independent. Why exactly? No one is sure. He was costing along getting double digit support in some polls, possibly thanks to name recognition, but hasn’t had much of…
Shut out of the Haitian presidential race, attacked everywhere for his financial mismanagement, and embroiled in a nasty celebrity feud with Sean Penn, Wyclef Jean is not exactly in a friendly mood these days. So when the Haitian authorities rejected his appeal and all but killed his presidential hopes Wednesday,…
It seemed for a while that Charlie Crist’s gamble by going Independent might have paid off as he lead many recent polls. However, Rasmussen Reports has released the first poll taking after Tuesday’s primaries and it shows the now official Republican nominee Marco Rubio with a 10 percent lead, and…
On Wyclef Jean’s personal list of “Things That Will Never, Ever Happen” — including playing a Fugees reunion show with Pras and winning a good taxpayer award from the IRS — the singer can now add a new entry with some confidence: serving as president of Haiti.The Haitian electoral council…
